Project reports and theses
Universities usually want the cover and certificate pages left unnumbered. Tick Skip the first page, or type a range such as 3- and set the starting number to match your table of contents.
Tender and office documents
"Page 1 of 10" numbering shows straight away if a page is missing. If you also want to mark drafts, use Watermark PDF.
Why your file stays private
Add Page Numbers runs entirely inside your browser. Your file is read from your device, processed in memory and saved back to your device. It is never uploaded to GreenPDFs or anyone else, so you can use it with Aadhaar, marksheets, bank statements and other personal documents. How in-browser processing works.
